Abstract

A hermetic refrigeration compressor system comprises a sealed shell containing two motor-compressor units of different capacities and also containing a suction gas accumulator through and from which suction gas is delivered to both units, the interior of the shell being at suction pressure; gas from an outlet of the accumulator being directed into an aligned, spaced inlet in the motor cover of the smaller unit. Both units are spring-mounted on a unitary support within the shell.
